"God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It" LOL LOL

hope you get your date sooner than later - congrats, good luck

what's a NSVs???

Non scale victories! Loose clothing/buying new smaller clothes, being able to cross legs or not having to use handicapped bathroom stall to be able to manure wiping, not being winded walking up stairs, people being able to put their arms around you all the way...etc. Noticing these things or keeping them in mind really helped me when the scale wouldn't budge during my first stall

I havent tried the stairs yet. All the others, I have accomplished. I go back to school on January 19 and I really wanted to lose 80 lbs before school started. I am 16 lbs away from that. Hope it ends soon!!!!1

Wow! Your blood pressure went down in 2 weeks?! That's awesome!

Well done! That is a fantastic start on your journey to better health x

Thanks!

How are you feeling?

Congrats!

So. Much. Food. You can do it!

how you doing? hang in there..I was hungry all the time also but looking back I think mine was all nerves..I was like that an I am 5 months post and still go days where my belly growls all the time! I am having to make sure what I eat an drink is acceptable...I deal with it all the time but you hang in there! your almost there!!

Thank you @blodebomb. Today was much better. I feel like I had a lot more energy and food wasn't on my mind all day long. Thank you for your encouragement and kind words.

Big day tomorrow! Good luck!

You go girl!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!

So excited for you!

Congrats!!

Thanks!

That is awesome!!! I've been on a 3 week stall with 77 gone total!!!

That's great! How are you feeling? These stalls are terrible! LOL I lost another 2 lbs for a total of 70! That's where I had hoped to be at the end of January.

Yes, they are Jerzy!! But I am glad its 70+ lbs gone and not gained for the both of us. Im feeling good for the most part. All of my issues are mental and not physical.......fighting the old demons that made me fat...ya know?!?!?

Hang in there and keep following your program! This too shall pass

Don't get discouraged! Your weight loss will continue. Just remember you're in a MUCH better place than you were pre-op! Take care!

Yea I'm trying to hang in there just a bummer.

This too shall pass...

These happen. Dont beat yourself up, we all get them. I am in one myself. You got this!

Thank you both!

I've only been averaging 5-8lb loses a month!, So consider yourself lucky.

I'm finishing up 2 weeks at the gym tomorrow and I've been going 4 times a week for 1-2hrs at a time and really have seen no significant weight loss. And I've been low carb and watching what I eat *eye roll*. I don't get it.

I count every sinking pound I lost from my highest current. In the midst of a wicked steal that's going on 3 weeks now. Grrr.

Weight loss is a tricky monster HalloweenBaby. I know people who dont eat right or exercise and they lose quite a bit rather quickly others don't. I've noticed for me anyways that make caloric intake needs to be around the 1000-1200 range and I need at least 48 oz of water and 80-100 grams of protein. Try to keep your chin up and not get discouraged......I know that's not an easy task cuz I fight with that every single day. Any loss is better than any gain is what I keep telling myself. I didn't get fat overnight and I won't get skinny overnight.

Feels like a bee sting and it's over, the worst thing about mine is he makes you raise your legs off the table a few inches I'm not in that great of shape yet.

I just checked out your before and afters, you look great!!! Great Job!!! Keep it up!!!

Thank you!! you have been so inspiring to read during your journey :-)

Thanks Pink, this has been a very interesting and difficult at times journey, but I wouldn't change doing this for anything, and I still have a little way to go, but I am just going to keep plugging along like I have been, and then maintain!! Your doing great, keep up the good work!!!

I wish i knew about the gas pain! The surgery itself didn't hurt but omg, the gas! 😣 still absolutely no regrets though! X

Congratulations. It’s a great feeling when the weight disappears & you can start to do so much more. 😁

….and this is only the beginning
